Joe, that is the thought that has had holster collectors wondering for years--Did the Russians keep any of the holsters and will they appear someday in the thousands? I spoke with someone in Britain who had found a few in Russia that were all painted brown. I have also heard suggested the holsters were fed to pigs or used to repair shoes and other leather goods. The only holsters to show up in the past few years have been brand new P38 and 7.65 holsters. There is some controversy about whether all of those are wartime or some may be recent manufacture.

I don't see any large numbers of luger holsters coming out of the eastern countries.
